I am new to pet sitting for others, but not new to dogs. I train dogs for search and rescue, obedience, and various other fun pursuits. We have five dogs, one is a retired successful search and rescue dog. The methods I use for training are rewards and happiness. In the past, I have been an obedience instructor at a Pittsburgh area obedience club and training officer for my search and rescue canine team. Whatever type of time I spend with your dog, whether just a drop in or a walk, my goal is for your dog to have fun and enjoy that time. I will strive to keep your dog both physically and mentally stimulated. My schedule is flexible and can change, but with notice, I can usually accommodate special scheduling requirements.
